Through the lecture, I learned that a problem become a socialproblem only when a segment of the population find it harmful to the society and that a solution is needed. This is my first key term because understanding it is the foundation of studying socialproblems.

From learning this, many questions have raised into my mind: How many people are included in the segment to make it a socialproblem? What percentage should the sample be until it becomes a socialproblem? How many researches should be done to figure out a problem is a...
